STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 11, 1915.

Application led May 28, 1912. Serial No. 700,301.

T0 all whom t may concern Be it known that I, JAcoB K. MOHLER, a citizenof the United States, residing at Ephrata, in the county of Lancasterand State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Stoves; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame.

The invention relates to stoves and has for an object to provide aheating stove whereby a greater heating surface is obtained and acorresponding large amount of heat is secured.

For the purpose mentioned, use is made of a drum disposed in the shellof a stove to partition the heating chamber thereof, the said drum beingconnected to the lire pot to act as an exhaust flue for gases ofcombustion, thus providing a construction whereby the air entering theheating chamber passes around both sides of the drum and is very easilyheated.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings constituting a partof this application in which similar characters of reference denote thecorresponding parts in the above device in which- Figure 1 is a sideelevation of a stove with the upper portion thereof longitudinallysectioned to disclose the underlying structure; and Fig. 2 is asectional view taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1.

Referring more particularly to the device, I employ a stove 10 supportedupon a base 11, an outer shell 12 and a fire pot 13 extending into theshell 12. Secured within an opening in the roof of the lire pot 13is thefuel feeding tube 16 which has secured upon its upper end the top 111,secured to the shell 12. Pivoted on the inside of the fuel feeding tube16 is a suitable damper plate 16a having an opening therein adapted tobe moved into registration with the opening 1Gb in the fuel feedingtube.

The top 14 of the shell 12 is provided with an upstanding integral lug14.a to which is pivoted the removable top plate 141;b for covering thefuel feeding opening 14 in said top. Positioned within the top 14 is anoutlet pipe 24 through which the heated air is C'opies of this patentmay'be obtained for adapted to pass, and to the short extension of whichmay be secured a pipe (not shown) for conducting the heated air toadjacent rooms.

A circular drum 17 is disposed in the shell 12, with spaced flues 18connecting the fire pot 13 with the drum 17, suitable apertures 19 beingformed in the drum 17 to aline with the apertures 20 in the fire pot 13.The drum 17 forms a flue chamber 21 having connected thereto a vent flue22 for connection with the chimney or the like, and the said drum isspaced from the fuel feeding tube 16 and shell 12 to constitute aheating medium in a heating chamber 23 intermediate the shell 12 and thefuel tube 1G. The drum 17 is so placed in the shell 12 that any airentering the shell at the lower end thereof is divided to pass aroundboth sides of the drum and become heated. Inasmuch as a large amount ofheat passes from the fire pot 13 into the fiue chamber 21 in the drum17, by dividing the heat as mentioned, a portion of the air to be heatedwill pass upwardly between the inner wall of the drum and the flue tube1G, which also becomes heated, and the remainder of said air will passupwardly between the outer wall of the drum and the outer shell, thusproviding an increased heating surface capable of heating a largeramount of air in a shorter time than the heating. stoves now generallyused.

`What I claim is A stove comprising; a casing, a top member supportingsaid casing, a fuel feeding tube supporting said top member, said fuelfeeding tube having an enlarged lower portion, and a lire pot having acentral aperture with an upturned flange therearound supporting saidfuel feeding tube, said enlarged portion of said fuel feeding tubeprojecting into said fire pot, and said enlarged portion of said fuelfeeding tube and said upturned flange combining to form a reinforcingjoint and to prevent warping.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

JACOB K. MOHLER.
